Feels Pretty Good (B Section)

Added 2022-10-03 14:30:21 +0000 UTC

Hey folks! Here's the B Section to Feels Pretty Good. The A Section was posted way back when, so it feels like this one is long overdue!

...

This one actually starts with a cool transition during measures 1 & 2 (m1-2). The picking during this transition gives the chords a textural contrast with all the other strummy bits. The left hand plays a G minor barre chord, but every 2 beats the root note on the 4th string moves down chromatically. This chord movement is a super popular one. A really famous example of it would be Stairway to Heaven. There's also a well known song called Ghostwriter by RJD2 that's literally just this idea for several minutes!

For m3 up until the end, really focus on the individual chords at first. Most of them are either 3 or 4 note versions of larger barre chords and common 7th chord shapes.

The only uncommon chord here are the minor 9th chords, but they're easy to understand. You just take the following minor 7th chord shape and add the 1st string 2 frets higher. Leave the 6th string out and you're all good to go:

x                               5
3                               3
3                               3
3                              3
x                                x
3       becomes:       3

Hope that covers everything but of course drop any questions down below! TAB as always is attached. And as always, have a wonderful day :)
